Both sides make valid points. Honestly just because you can play the game doesn't mean you know it better than someone who can't.

There are analysts out there who know the game in and out and are goofs on the court. Just like there are great players who are probably dumb as rocks when it comes to analyzing the game from a distance. That and people make mistakes. Jordan thinking Kwame would be great comes to mind.

I give anyone on tv with the exception of skip bayless the benefit of the doubt of knowing more than me. The difference is, you have to draw your conclusions from multiple sources and make your own decisions based on what you find, just like anything else.

A good example is myself with boxing. I claim to be quite knowledgeable, and have trained for years, but I can't apply all my knowledge in the ring, or I would probably be great. I know some pro fighters who I will probably never beat sparring, or will I ever match them physically or successfully, but just talking to them it's clear they will never see the sport the way I do, break it down like I can, strategize like I do, and make observations. What they can do is execute.

But most announcers and analysts are biased, it's hard not to be. Also, like skip, some are paid just to say something to get a rise out of people and incite hits. You can't forget about that.

Like I said those people are experts, and make a living off making those projections.

Go get your calculator and do some projections buddy. That's based on how often they think we'll play those guys not necessarily their averages...maybe you should read what it says before presenting something haha. I know for a fact you'll have Deron Williams in every single game and I'll have DeMarcus in every game...crunch the numbers and tell me you'll continue to trust the experts lol.

Haha I know for a fact this dude doesn't smoke weed cause there is no way you can smoke and be this *****y all the damn time lol.

Haven't you read anything??? i said i dont sit around and smoke weed all day...just cuz you CAN doesn't mean you do. come on now child! I'm also recovering from surgery and if you knew anything about anatomy you would know that smoking weed actually causes a sensation in the inflamed area almost reminiscent to pain so no, I don't sit around smoking it kiddo. Go get some knowledge in your life...and i can sit around on a computer all day and do more **** than you just from this one spot.
